Tour among traditional workshops
There are several ancient jobs that some Venetians still do. This itinerary is to help you discover some of them. The realization of hand-painted papier-mâché masks is probably the most popular, besides being the occasion of learning what Carnival in Venice really was. Then, a workshop where some pieces of the gondola are still hand-shaped. Later, a shop of hand-made paper and paper-items (books, engravings and including spectacular lamps!). In the end, a workshop where some skilled hands realize tiny outstanding glass animals.
Duration: from 2 hours
Fee for the guided tour: from 200 €
Additional fee: 50 € for the introduction to the construction of the gondola by an expert worker (optional)
